Q: Hi 5i, I'm invested in Nestle and like the diversification and div. but the problem is the fees my broker charges me when I receive the dividend they take approx. one third of it even though its in an RRSP. Guess the tax treaty with the US doesn't matter here. Can you give me another suggestion and do you know if the international ETFs have this problem?

Q: In response to another subscriber's question you said you "...would be more comfortable with Nestle. It trades at 19X earnings, with a 3.4% dividend. Debt is high, but so is free cash flow. Solid earnings growth is also expected from the company. It does not have a great record of beating earnings estimates, but overall we think it would also be fine as a consumer sector investment."

Nestle trades as NSRGY on the pink sheets. What would be the tax treatment if I bought and held this in my RRIF account? My understanding is that Swiss withholding taxes would be deducted at source and the after tax yield would be much less than 3.4%.
